    Article: Checked Bag Fees Cost US Airlines Millions

    False economy without thinking about what PAX actually need to bring if they’re flying. Take No Luggage ? That’s the idiocy of thinking about leisure travellers So if you do surcharge like those pesky CC surcharges, it reminds rational people how poorly you are treating them.
